-Ford didn't do it at all, but he's currently the only character from 
THHGTTG represented in B Nomic.-

-Hadn't noticed... anyway, you need an Alien Gnome to get a Ford Prefect. I 
think insetead of making it harder to get, it should be uglire to use. You 
use it, and there's a roughly 3/5 chance that something screwy will happen 
to you (Upon consideration, Glotmorf, I prefer that, so I hope that clears 
up one of your issues.)-

-Yeah, I'm cutting that as soon as I can figure out how to do so quickly, 
and how to rearrange the other die rolls.-

-I'm not sure I follow. See, I figured this would be the kind of thing you 
use in a case where it's better to become a Penguin than stay where you 
were. So you'd need to get moving FAST.-

> And Wonko's right about the clarity with the movement and the die roll.
-You mean Glotmorf? I still do't get how you figure that. Upon the 
movement's happening, the die is rolled.-

-Well, with a little rephrasing, I could make it so that an IIP speeder 
wasn't a Speeder such that WOnko's Upgrades rule refers to. Then you 
couldn't do anything to it, although anything you'd already done might still 
be on... that might require a CFI to determine, unless I define what happens 
to existing upgrades.-
